Maitland City Wide Development Control Plan

The Maitland Development Control Plan 2011 (DCP) came into effect on 16 December 2011.  It contains detailed guidelines and planning controls applying to all development within the Maitland Local Government Area.

The updated plan takes into consideration the provisions of the recently gazetted Maitland LEP 2011, Council's primary land use planning tool, and other planning instruments such as State Environmental Planning Policies.  It has been made in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

The DCP is made up of 6 parts which are designed to make planning processes clearer and more consistent for residents and developers.  Readers are advised to firstly look at Part A - Administration to gain an appreciation of application requirements and then reference relevant Parts of the DCP to gain an understanding of the specific controls.

For further information or if you wish to obtain a hard copy of the plan please visit Council's Administration Building or contact the Customer Service Centre by phone on (02) 4934 9700.
